Wired ethernet speed slow
I am having the same problem. It seems to have begun 2 weeks ago in my case when Windows11upgraded to 22H2. It is only affected wired ports. WiFi unaffected. It is affecting every PC upgraded to 22H...
Had a network tech friend bring his Asus GT AX-11000 to test in my home and we experienced the ethernet throttling the same even with the Asus. He then turned off IPV6 on my NICs properties, rebooted, retested and problem is resolved. I now have full ~920Mbps download on a 1GbE NIC as expected from using either the Asus or the RBK852 simply using IPV4. Circumvention is to turn of IPV6 in NIC properties.
I'm going to try to borrow another PC this week that is not at this 22h2 level and try it out. I'll report back then.
OK heres my RBR850 with a 2.5Gb connection to a CAX80 in modem mode:
ISP doesn't have anything higher than 1Gb on the WAN currently.

Ran these test 3 times on each PC to be sure.

Thanks Furry. Is it 21H2? This is a previous Win 11 previous build. Current is 22H2.
I believe there are both 21H2 and 22H2 builds available for both Windows 10 and Windows 11. (My Windows 10 is on 22H2)
This is fascinating as FURRYe38 is getting full speed from the 850 from both Windows 10 and Windows 11 on release 21H2.
The significant difference appears to be release 22H2. (which was the original observation)
(Also, it staggers the mind that Microsoft could have done anything that would mess with something so fundamental as Ethernet and only affect the Orbi Ethernet LAN. How would a person even look for something like that ? Maybe the Ethernet adapter Advanced Properties?)
Yeah. Hard to grasp. Here is Microsoft's Windows 11 current build support grid. 22H2 is latest feature build.
Both are 21H2.
I'll check on whats available for my PCs and see if they can be updated.

I see there is a 22H2 update for my Win 10 PC but not for my Win11. Maybe that's coming down the pipe at a later date.
